The Astronomy Academy courses are broken into two
parts: Science and Observation. Because the vast
majority of our users live in the Northern Hemisphere, the
observation portion of the courses is geared towards them.
While you can enjoy the science, you will not be able to enjoy
finding the suggested objects in each packet.

The solution:

Go to http://www.skymaps.comto
print yourself a free sky map. Make sure you print the one
labeled "Southern Hemisphere." When you come to the
portion of an Astronomy Packet that asks you to find a particular
item, choose another similar item of your own.

Example: If the packet asks
you to find a constellation such as Orion, you could instead look for
another constellation such as the Southern Cross. If the packet
asks you to find a star, find a different but similar star. Use
the sky map as a guide.

If you find a replacement item for
each suggested object, give yourself credit.

(We will develop a class for
Southern Hemisphere students in the future)
